6-Speed SIS derailers should not be used with indexed 8, 9 or 10s shifters of any type.

The shift to the largest cog will not index quite right. It's not an issue of the derailer's travel limits, but that the actuation ratio does not remain linear, so there will be hesitation and/or noise when trying to use the largest cog.
